I am looking forward to this and I want to thank you guys for working on it. I’m just testing the plugin from the trac for any bugs etc and was wondering, how do you display the forum itself on the site or has it not got that far yet? Backend seems to be working ok.

how do you display the forum itself on the site or has it not got that far yet

First of all, you need to enable the TwentyTen child theme from Appearance. Then, you need to create a new page, give it a title and then select bbPress - Forum Index in Template Select Box in Page Attributes section (below Publish button).

And when you’d visit the page, you would see the list of forums, then you can go to a particular forum to see its topics and then go to a particular topic to see its replies.

That isn’t so good, and I thought you might be going down that route. Is there no other way of displaying a forum other than using this?

I would suggest that if a bbPress template exists within the current theme use that, else fall back to a default within the plugin. Otherwise the uptake will be severely limited to those using TwentyTen! and then only if they haven’t already created a child theme.

If you keep with this route then it will only alienate users. (IMO)

edit: where do you want error reports sent, seems daft to use TRAC at this early stage, can we have a dedicated board on here?

when trying the new bbpress pluggin i get the following error message:

Warning: require_once(C:wampwww/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbp-filters.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in C:wampwwwwp-contentpluginspluginbbp-loader.php on line 144

just tested it online…no problems so far… created a few forums, topics etc to test it out… will test this later after i get off work, forum display needs a bit of teaking but it would be great if the simple:press integration method could be done withh bbpress.

When following these instructions, I don’t see bbPress in the Template Select Box.
